The first book to address everyone who relishes reading Proust and wants to know more about how his writing works. This is a matchless close reading of a literary masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time, and a lesson in how to read the Great Books profitably and pleasurably. Read this excellent book Stuart Jeffries, Guardian Very refreshing a splendidly tough-minded and generous introduction Gabriel Josipovici, Independent Brilliant Peter Conrad, Observer A splendidly thought-filled book Eric Griffiths, Evening Standard A book that recalls that Prousts novel is one of the great exercises in speculative imagining in the worlds literature; and that its originality lies first in the quality of Prousts textual invention, page after page, line after line.

Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy.
